NOTE:

Thanks for having purchased our Equable VSM1 calculator add-in excel. We value your business and we hope that we
will satisfy you!

Quickly calculate the data from a VSM session

Value stream analysis is one of the easiest methods to analyze a process and identify areas that can be improved. Even someone inexperienced
can find the low hanging fruit. This Value Stream Mapping Calculator is an easy-to-use Excel Template that will save you time.

This template was developed as a tool to support Lean Six Sigma Black Belt teams conducting Values Stream Mappings. It calculates
quickly the data that you need from a VSM session : Cycle time, Value Added Time, Business Value Added Time, Non Value Added
Time, Process Cycle Efficiency (PCE), TAKT time, Average Work in Progress (WIP), Process Value, FTEs and Labor Costs.

Aside from the working template is a completed template to use as a sample illustration. It includes the associated graphs generated
from the template data.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) fill in all areas highlighted in White - the VSM 1 data and their corresponding graphs will update
2) eventually edit the graphs and arrange them
3) the spreadsheet is protected but you can format all the cells (i.e. change the currency unit of the monetary cells) and edit the graphs

Template assumptions:

1) when filled, a cell of the process step operator column in the VSM 1 table must correspond to one of the defined
process operator functions in the process operator table. Else the calculations would be incorrect.

Template Limitations:

1) the template is limited to 10 operator functions

2) the template is limited to 100 process steps

REVISION

VERSION 5:
- Add reference to "Instructions" Tab copyrights cell in all other Tabs where there is a copyright (at bottom of pag
- Change color of TITLE background (dark Blue)

VERSION 6:
- Replace "Efficient" by "Effective" and change Wording in Process Step table, Summary and Graphs
- Solve issue when the Operator functions are not used (all is blank)
- Solve issue when there is no BVA task at all or no VA task
- Add number of shift per day in the "Effective working time assumptions" table entry
- Labor cost graph axis has an automatic scale now
- Add days in Process VSM SUMMARY times
- Change cell colors for better printouts visibility
- Change pie chart colors (VA green, BVA orange, NVA red)
- Add WORKLOAD GRAPH
